Join is not working for NULL values on join condition

HI ,
I have the following problem .
SQL> select *from a;
X Y
1
2
3
4
SQL> select *from b;
B Y
1
2
SQL> select f.x,f.y,s.b from a f,b s
2 where f.x=s.b(+);
X Y B
1 1
2 2
4
3
SQL> select f.x,f.y,s.b from a f,b s
2 where f.x=s.b(+)
3 and f.y=s.y;
no rows selected
So now if i include one more join condition where in null = null situation arises , it is now working.
Simply saying its not treating ( 1 and null ) and ( 1 and null ) are same.
What is the solution.Is this a expected behaviour.
Thanks
Pramod Garre

HI
I want something like this
SQL> select f.x,f.y,s.b from a f,b s
2 where f.x=s.b(+);
X Y B
1 1
2 2
4
3
SQL> select f.x,f.y,s.b from a f,b s
2 where f.x=s.b(+)
3 and f.y=s.y;
Instead of "now Rows " i have to get
X Y B
1 1
2 2
4
3
Is there is any way to do this.
Thanks

Full path mapping not working for Taxonomy values

Hi Friends,
I'm trying to update a main table field, which is of type Lookup [Taxonomy]. The taxonomy table has a 5-level hierarchy, with two columns, Code (Display Field 1) and Name (Display Field 2). There are no attributes maintained.
001, A   [Remote Key : 001] <ROOT NODE> {Level 1}
|---000, A1   [Remote Key : 000] {Level 2}
      |---001, A2   [Remote Key : 001] {Level 3}
            |---001000, A3   [Remote Key : 001000] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST [Remote Key : 000102] {Level 5}
            |---001001, A4   [Remote Key : 000101] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST {Level 5}
|---001, B   [Remote Key : 001] {Level 2}
      |---001, B1   [Remote Key : 001] {Level 3}
            |---001000, B2   [Remote Key : 001000] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST {Level 5}
            |---001001, B3   [Remote Key : 000101] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST {Level 5}
The figure, unfortunately doesn't come up right, so I've indicated the levels of the nodes.
The remote keys have been maintained at all the levels. I've also set my Configuration Options settings for Hierarchy Values Automap to Fullpath. However, when I try to do an "Automap", the values are being mapped to the wrong leaf node, taking only the leaf node remote key, rather than following the full path. The leaf node value (000102, SYST) repeats multiple times, and the remote key could be maintained only for one of them. But instead of following the hierarchy, the mapping happens to the value for which remote key was maintained, here 001->000->001->001000->000102, no matter what the hierarchy is.
Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

Anil Madhavan

Hello Anil,
As for Hierarchy field using leaf nodes only for matching - this is the current design and from memory allocation point of view, I think it is reasonable (keeping the full path to the Node will use huge amounts of memory).
they way workaround this is by adding the code field to the matching step, this will allow you to make sure that the currect nodes are being mapped.
Hope this information helps,

OBIEE - Null Value in Joins

Hi All,
In OBIEE, How will I handle the null value in join conditions?
I have 2 tables inner joined together in the RPD level. They are User_Profiles table and Parties table.
I am creating a database prompt for a report and in dropdown sql results Iam giving the below query.
SELECT distinct CASE WHEN USER_PROFILES.PAR_ID IS NULL THEN PARTIES.PAR_ID ELSE
USER_PROFILES.PAR_ID END FROM user_profiles,parties WHERE USER_PROFILES.USER_ID='12345' AND parties.par_type = 'ABC' and parties.status = 'N'
Here the PAR_ID is not fetched in the dropdown from PARTIES table . The reason behind this is, when the USER_PROFILES is having PAR_ID as null, it is not able to join with PARTIES table and the dropdown is not populating. It works fine when it fetch from user_profiles table. I believe the issue occurs because of the user_profiles table having null values and not able to fetch from parties table.
Please advice..

Hi All,
I managed to write the query modified like below to handle the null value.
select nvl2(user_profiles.par_id,user_profiles.par_id,parties.par_id) from WFMT_SAINT_PR where user_profiles.user_id= {User()}
and ((user_profiles.par_id is not null and parties.par_id = user_profiles.par_id) OR (user_profiles.par_id is null and parties.par_type = 'MFR' and parties.status='C'))
But when i put this is dashboard prompt sql results for PAR_ID field i get the following error.
Error Generating Drop Down Values

How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

Hello all,
How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
Declare
v_valid boolean;
Begin
IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
END IF;
return v_valid;
END;
My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
Thanks

See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..

Checking for null value in arraylist

Hi
i have an excel file which i i am reading into an arraylist row by row but not necesarrily that all columns in the row mite be filled. So how do i check for null values in the array list.

               } myRow is the arrayList i am adding the cells of the excel file to. I have checked for blank spaces in my coding so please help with how to check for the black spaces that has been added to my arraylist.
I have tried checking by looping through the ArrayList and then checking for null values like this
if(myRow.get(i)!=null)
// do something
// i have tried this also
if(myRow.get(i)!="")
//do something

From your post I see you are using a 3rd party package to access the Excel SpreadSheets, you will have to look in your API for you 3rd party package and see if there is a method that will identify a blank row, if there is and it does not work, then you have to take that problem up with them. I know this is a pain, but it is the price we pay for 3rd party object use.
In the mean time, you can make a workaround by checking every column in your row and seeing if it is null, or perhaps even better: check and see if the trimmed value of each cell has a lenth of 0.

Cascading Select Lists - Not Working for me

I am trying to implement Denes Kubicek's Ajax Cascading Select List solution.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:119
But it is not working for me.
I'm a newbie to APEX and checked the forum for advice on cascading select lists. I saw the thread for
"Cascading Select Lists - Not Working" posted by sue and the replies by Varad Acharya, but I'm still
having issues of not seeing the alerts, not able to run the pl/sql process in SQL Workshop, and not
getting the expected results.
I have a list of countries (US - USA, CA - CANADA, etc.) and a list of states for each country. When a
user selects a country I would like to show the list of states within that country.
This is what I've done so far:
Defined an application process:
Process Point: On Demand: Run ... by a page process.
Name: CASCADING_SELECT_LIST1
Process Text:
BEGIN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');

OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<select>');
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || 99 || '">' || '- All States -'
|| '</option>'
FOR c IN (SELECT state_code || ' - ' || state_desc d, state_code r
FROM tbk_state
WHERE country_code = :cascading_selectlist_item_1)
LOOP
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || c.r || '">' || c.d || '</option>');
END LOOP;
HTP.prn ('</select>');
END;

Varad,
First, thank you for taking the time to try to help me with this problem.
When I view the page's source code (here are the first few lines):

It looks like line 17 is:
var l_Select = html_GetElement(pSelect);
I'm still not sure why I'm getting this error and why it's not working?

Help: matrix report grid lines missing for null values only on server side

Hi,
I created a matrix report in pdf format. The output in great when run through report builder locally, it renders all necessary details. However, after the report being moved into AS server, the report does not show grid lines for null values.
It looks to me this has something to do with configurations and hope someone know what needs to be done.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Jimmy

Thanks for replying.
DESFORMAT is PDF.
There should be a fix as I had same issue with same Oracle version at my previous company. DBA fixed the issue on AS server.
I found your post on 09/28/2010 with a link to patch set: Re: Null value fields disappear in pdf output format
We worked out with the work around without install the patch.

Hello Guys,
I have a problem. I have an external webservice to which I have to post my request. My task is to create an Webservice and Service Assembly to which others would post request and get response. I have to create SA to deploy onto the bus.
The problem is that there are optional elements in the request and response xsd's. In the Response sometimes certain feilds may come or they may not. for Example:- my response could contain a tag like this <firstName></firstName>
I have to copy these feilds in my bpel process from one variable to another.(like in the mapper).
My Question is , Is there any way in BPEL process or BPEL mapper where I could Check for null values in the request or response???
Your inputs would be very helpful.
Thanks
Rajesh

Thanks for replying man :)
Ok I will be more clear.
Here is a snippet of one of the xsd's that I am using.
<xs:element name="returnUrl" nillable="false" minOccurs="0">
                    <xs:annotation>
                         <xs:documentation>Partner specifies the return URL to which responses need to be sent to, in case of
Async message model.
</xs:documentation>
                    </xs:annotation>
                    <xs:simpleType>
                         <xs:restriction base="xs:anyURI">
                              <xs:maxLength value="300"/>
                              <xs:whiteSpace value="collapse"/>
                         </xs:restriction>
                    </xs:simpleType>
               </xs:element>
This means that the return URL field can be there or it may not be there. But if it is there it cant be null because nillable=false. But the whole <returnURL> </returnURL> can be there or it may not be there because minOccurs=0.
My requirement is , if returnURL is there in the response with a value, then in my BPEL mapper I should map it else I should not map it.
Thats the issue.
and Yes kiran, the node be non-existant.
So can you please help me with this.
Thanks

Thunderbird Mission Control Desktop/AutoConfig not working for some users

I have the file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\pref\custom.js"
It contains:
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "TMcustom.cfg");
I have the file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\TMcustom.cfg"
It contains:
var promptService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPromptService);
promptService.alert(null, "title", "testing");
For most of my users the alert pops up fine when I start Thunderbird, but for a few it doesn't. All of the machines where setup with the same install script. If I log into one of the machines where it's not working as a different user, then it works fine, so I know the files are in the right spot. So why would it not work for specific users? Is there something in the user's Windows profile that could cause it to not work? Or are there any other suggestions?

As it turns out this was a known bug that was corrected in the recent release of Java 7_65 and Java 8_11. Here is a link to the bug description in the database.
Bug ID: JDK-8019274 RMI thread can no longer call out to AWT thread for webstart app

Outlook autodiscover is not working for some users in coexistence

Hi
We are doing exchnage 2013/2010 coexistence
Most everything is ok BUT outlook autodiscover is not working for some exchange 2010 users now that 2013 is in the front!!!. We end up creating the profiles manually. It has affected some but not all the users.
I followed the instructions here but it didn't help.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/tips_from_the_inside/archive/2012/01/11/autodiscover-fails-for-one-or-more-users.aspx
Using outlook 2010, 2013, patches, .... didn't make a difference
Would you please help?
Thank you

Hi
If it is affecting only few handful of users i could suspect a mailbox corruption and would recommend to move mailbox and see the results.
Also you can try below
You need to set the values MaxFieldLength, MaxRequestBytes & MaxTokenSize to below on Exchange 2010 CAS servers as well as Exchange 2013 CAS servers
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
Name: MaxFieldLength
Type: DWORD
Value: 65534
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
Name: MaxRequestBytes
Type: DWORD
Value: 16777216
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
Name: MaxTokenSize
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 48000
Just reboot the servers once its done and you will be good to go.

Software Update Point Switching is not working for some Clients

Hi there,
I found nothing similar here and I hope this is the right section.
I´m running ConfigMgr 2012 R2 where one of the Site Systems from one of the Primaries is located in an untrusted Forest in a perimeter Network. The Site System there has the MP, SUP and DB Roles. In general it works great. The Systems in that untrusted Forest
get the SCCM Agent pushed, see and can install published Software packages and receive Windows Updates. But there are a few systems where everything works, except Windows Updates.
So I had a deeper look at what is happening and found out that the SUP switching is not working for them. They always try to contact the SUP from the Primary, which they cannot reach (this is intended).
From how I understand SUP switching as described here
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/03/27/software-update-points-in-cm2012sp1.aspx#pi140062=1
the Windows Update Agent tries to connect to a SUP every 30 minutes and after 4 failed attempts he will try to connect to the next one until he finds one which works.
As I said before, this seems to work for most systems in the untrusted forest, but some do not make any intentions to switch the SUP.
So my next step was to find out from where the Update Agent can get the information of the available SUPs. I think they either don´t receive the information that other SUPs exist, or if the Information is there, they don´t realize that there´s an error and
make no attempt to switch.
I used the System Center Support Center to gather all Information from some of the systems with that problems (Log Files, WMI information, registry information, policies etc.) but I cannot find where SCCM or the Update Agent store the information which SUPs
are available in my environment.
I´m sure the problem is on the Systems which fail to connect to the right SUP and not in the SCCM infrastructure itself, because for most of the systems everything is working just perfect. Unfortunately in the Blog Post above there´s also no information
where this information is stored and how it is obtained by the clients. In the comments there´s even one post which describes the same problem I have here, but there was no answer. I hope someone can point me into the right direction, because I´m stuck currently.
Things I tried additionally to all the log file / WMI / registry sniffing:
Removing the Software Distribution Folder and restarting the Windows Update Agent
Removing the WindowsUpdate Registry folder in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Windows section in the Registry and restarting the Windows Update Agent.
Tried to reset the WUAgent with wuauclt /Resetauthorization additionally to the steps above.
I also tried to manually set the WUServer and WUStatusServer Keys in the registry to the new Server, but as soon as the next Update Scan cycle runs, the value is set back to the URL of the Primary Sites SUP
Is someone having additional ideas? It seems to me older systems are more affected (which were configured for a standard WSUS before SCCM 2012 was deployed) than newer ones which were installed when SCCM was in place already. But I don´t know what else to
"reset" on those machines without reinstalling them.

Thank you very much for your response. I must have missed that one by looking through numerous Logfiles. In this, there´s indeed a list of all available SUPs. So according to the LocationServices.log the machine should have a choice.
The WMI Key however, contains just one entry and this is the URL of the Primaries SUP which is not reachable in the untrusted forest. Is it OK that the WMI entry includes only one entry? If yes, what process is putting the results from the LocationServices
into WMI? It seems like the Windows Update Agent is feeded from the WMI Key then. If this is the case my problems seems to be the "communication path" between these two components.
Is this the job from the SCCM Agent, the Windows Update Agent or maybe some third component I´m not aware of? I wonder how I can fix this.

Report is showing "null" string for null values.

hi ,
I am new to BI Publisher and creating a report in BI Publisher. In the result set for null values, report is printing as "null".

Can you please help me to find solution for this ?.
Thank you very much in advance.

Formula is not working for key figures ( cumulative )

hI
I have Qty A and qty B key figures and changed property to cumulative in query designer . two key figures are working fine . I ahve another key figure which is formula ( Qty A + Qty B) .
Issue is
Formula ( Qty A + Qty B) is showing before cumulative values result . it is not showing cumulative total .
Ex :
                   Before cumulation prperty for Qty A and Qty B
                      Qty A       Qty B         Total ( formula ( Qty A+ Qty B)
                        10            20                  30
                         8              7                    15
    After changing propert cumulative in query designer for Qty A and Qty B
                     Qty A       Qty B           Total ( Formula 9Qty A + Qty B)
                       10            20                30
                        18           27                 15 ( still it is show 15 like above example means formula is not working on cumulative values)
Formula is working on before cumulative value . it is not taking cumulative values.
Please helo to resolve this issue . I think I need to change some prperty in query designer.
Appriciate your response.
Thanks
Rohan
